There are not enough donor lungs available to meet the increasing demand for lung transplantation. To compound the problem, transplant recipients have a projected survival time of only 5.7 years despite life-long immunosuppression. An alternative...

Animal populations are limited by their environment and interactions with one another, the latter proportional to density. How density-dependent mechanisms regulate populations is poorly understood, particularly for migratory animals. Winter, or...

Synthesis and characterization of anisotropic micro- and nanoparticles, either in suspension or localized on a surface, are current areas of intense scientific interest because of their shape-tunable material properties with potential applications...

Extensive research in both humans and animals has identified and
isolated distinct brain regions essential for different types of memory,
supporting the notion of multiple memory systems (MMS). The hippocampus and the
striatum are the two systems...

There is a clinical need for large numbers of phenotypes which are suitable for tissue engineering and cell therapy applications. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are readily expanded in vitro and can differentiate into any somatic phenotype, making...

This research is focused on engineering submicron spherical carbon particles as effective carriers/supports for nanoscale zerovalent iron (NZVI) particles to address the in situ remediation of soil and groundwater chlorinated contaminants....
